Matthew had previously been engaged to Casualty star Evelyn Hoskins. But he was spotted with Celina just a couple of months after the proposal, with many fans still believing the pair would wed. Reports claim he and his ex-partner, who starred as Shona Wark in the medical drama, actually split that same month but neither confirmed the news at the time.

Mat's reps later told the Mail Online: "Mathew and Evelyn separated amicably in October 2018.". The pair got hitched in a private ceremony in Oslo, Norway in September 2021. They tied the knot in the 15-acre grounds of a 1930s mansion. Celina wore an ivory bridal gown with a cowl neckline and voluminous long sleeves.
